Line 103:

** That may have been directly inspired by the [[The Silver Age of Comic Books|Silver Age]] Superman cover that had Superman stand around mocking Clark Kent as Kent got beaten up. As it turned out, this was just a metaphor for the fact that Kent had given up being Superman.

* In the issue of the original [[Justice League of America]] where the first Mr. Terrific dies, [[Batman]] is pointing at Mr. Terrific's killer, with [[Red Tornado]], [[Power Girl]], [[Wonder Woman]], and Jay Garrick (Flash I) behind him. The murderer is, of course, {{spoiler|Jay Garrick, though [[Not Himself|he was possessed at the time and it wasn't really his fault.]]}}

* The cover of New Avengers #35 got readers up in arms when [https://web.archive.org/web/20150104064937/http://www.thecomicfanatic.com/new%20images/nwavng35.jpg such a cool cover] ironically featuring [[Wolverine Publicity]] when the story inside (which dealt with the villain known as "[[The Hood]]") wasn't even remotely related to the cover.

* The cover of ''Amazing [[Spider-Man]] #75'' is "Death Without Warning" and shows Spider-Man mourning over a dead body. Nothing like that happens in the comic. What's more ''nobody in the story dies at all''.

** Although to be fair, one villain does get de-aged seemingly into nothingness, so it did appear that he was dead.
